MailCloak Pro in Public Beta!

April 17th, 2009

MailCloak Pro is now in Public Beta!

MailCloak for Pro is a combination of all of Global Web Security Systems’ breakthrough encryption programs, and a little more. Download MailCloak Pro here!

MailCloak Pro = MailCloak for Firefox + MailCloak for Mail Clients + MailCloak for Internet Explorer (only available in MailCloak Pro)!

MailCloak was designed from the ground up to be the first encryption program for browser-based email, and POP3/SMTP email. MailCloak Pro supports ALL mail clients, while making GnuPG public-key encryption so simple anyone can use it! And everyone using it is the goal, That’s why MailCloak works with today’s most popular webmail systems as well.

Now you and your contacts can easily exchange encrypted email, and it doesnt matter what they use - Gmail on Firefox? Hotmail in Internet Explorer? YourCustomDomain.Com with Outlook (custom domains are only supported in Outlook and our upcoming SMB version)? They’re all supported! And MailCloak works with cross platform systems too -  that’s because we use the Gnu Privacy Guard MailCloak compatible with tons of other GPG programs on any platform you can think of. Mac, Linux, even legacy DOS users can exchange email with MailCloak users.

Key features include:

Automatic Key Exchange: MailCloak’s automatic key exchange feature automatically attached your public keys to outgoing emails, and automatically imports your contact’s public keys from incoming emails.

Automatic Encryption: Just turn MailCloak on and send email as usual - if you have already done a key exchange, your email will be encrypted.

Respect for Privacy: MailCloak stores your keys on your computer, not ours. So you can be confident that only you and your recipients can read MailCloak encrypted emails

End-to-End Encryption: MailCloak encrypts your email on your computer, and decrypts it on the recipient’s computer. Absolutely no one else will ever be able to read your email. See my previous post to understand the difference between HTTP/S encryption and End-to-End encryption.

Here’s an animation of MailCloak working in Mozilla Thunderbird:

  • Foxmail 5
  • Foxmail 6
  • Outlook Express 6
  • Koomail 5.32
  • Thunderbird 2.0.0.21

If you don’t see your email client on the list, don’t fret, MailCloak for Mail Clients  works with most (all that we’ve tested) Windows XP POP3/SMTP Mail clients- so go ahead, download MailCloak and give it a spin.

MailCloak has also been tested on following web browsers:

MailCloak for Mail Clients now in public beta!

MailCloak for Mail Clients now in public beta!

MailCloak for Mail Clients, a cross-compatible cousin of MailCloak for Firefox, is the first GnuPG encryption plug-in which works in any email program, and it’s super easy to use too! You just install it on your Windows XP or Vista computer and then continue sending email with your current email client.

MailCloak supports: Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Foxmail, Eudora, Pegasus Mail, Lotus Notes, and more (we haven’t tested all email clients, but it works with everything we’ve tested).

To start using MailCloak for Mail Clients, you don’t have change a thing, just download, install, do a key exchange, and start sending strong GnuPG encrypted emails! MailCloak even works with your existing PGP keys.

Click here to go to the MailCloak for MailClients download page.

Using MailCloak in Thunderbird

MailCloak for Mail Clients allows users of any POP3 or SMTP email service to use MailCloak’s GnuPG email encryption. GnuPG is strong PGP encryption with up to 4096 bit public keys, and MailCloak is compatible with all other GnuPG encryption programs, so with MailCloak you can send secure email to anyone on just about any platform.

MailCloak supports Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, and more (we think it supports all POP3/SMTP mail clients, but we can’t test them all).  If you use webmail, like Yahoo! mail or Gmail, try MailCloak for Firefox!

MailCloak GPG Encryption in Windows

We worked really hard to ensure using MailCloak for Mail Clients is easy as pie.

To use MailCloak for Mail Clients install it and fire up your mail client – which ever it may be.

At this point you should notice the MailCloak floating menu. Right click it to turn it on, and send an email. MailCloak will automatically attach your public key to this message if you don’t have the recipients public key, or encrypt the message if you do. When you are done sending encrypted messages, simply turn MailCloak off and write emails as usual.

To make MailCloak even easier, we’ve created an automated testing program called Cryptobot. Turn MailCloak on to attach your public key to all outgoing email, send Cryptobot an email, and wait for a reply to see what happens!

After you give MailCloak for Mail Clients a whirl, please tell us what you think on the MailCloak Encryption Forum. You can also use the forum to ask us your questions. We’ll do our best to answer your questions and help you through any problems you might have.

You also can find documentation on our email encryption wiki.
